here are the rest of the thailand pictures... be sure to flip through all the underwater pictures, they are all so good! the flight to phuket is only 1.5 hours... if anyone is interested in visiting us!
the beach was beautiful!
fantasea theme park
muay thai boxing had to be an experience in its own. the stadium reminded me of our old show barn from FFA... except there were these red leather couchs for vip seating circled around the ring and of coarse the cheap seats were bleachers. we sat in the cheap seats, with our smuggled in san miguel light beer, next to the guy with eight fingers and eight toes, and a slew of local bookies. the first fight was 10 year old boys, the second was 13 year old girls... finally the third fight, the boys were olders. here is a clip from the fight...
muay thai boxing
fishes
beaked coral butterflyfish
clownfish 
dirk & kaes on the boat
black spotted porcupine fish
moorish idol... i think, i have been trying to categorize all these fish we saw, need a good book
jellyfish
ko doc mai... we did our crazy night dive herethe night dive was another story... i was told most night dives are not like the one we experienced. it was very rough, the current was strong, strong enough to get our dive group seperated from the rest (while we had no clue). it also got a little scary when my underwater light went out and then dirk's did as well... nothing like being underwater, in the dark, with no light, and a current that keeps throwing you up against the rocks... all in all, i actually liked it.
colorful coral... the coral was so colorful everywhere we went!
giant emperor angel fish... this fish was huge, it may not look like it in the picture
three spotted dascyllus... domino
stripped damsel fish
red tailed butterflyfish... i think these were my favorite!
camo colored fish... dirk was thrilled!
the dunlaps & the de jongs... it was so nice to dive with friends- sara laster was there as well but went home after the second day because australia doesn't observe chinese new year... who knew?
cheers!the last night consisted of sitting on the beach with these big LIGHT beers and watching the sunset... (got to know we are from texas, light beer & sunsets= perfect ending)
oh and then some awesome muay thai boxing...
here are the rest of the pictures from the trip... just click on the picture:
